Hi everybody,
we are currently trying to migrate from GA to matomo. We have one site with a lot of GA data, which therefore takes a loooooong time to import. We certainly don’t want to wait for the whole import to finish before making the switch.
What would be the best strategy to switch to matomo while integrating the old data?
My plan was/is:
-
First do a quick import from current (FIXED) date back to (idk) a year maybe to get the matomo site initialized (unfortunately it seems GA import always creates a new site)
-
Switch tracking to matomo once the import has settled, using the same site
-
Reimport the remaining historical data range from GA. Or should I change the import end date? Or both?
Would this work at all? Or is there a better strategy (e.g. can I merge data from two sites maybe?)
Best regards
JM
